Ingredients for Baked Sausage And Eggs

  • 1 pound breakfast sausage
  • butter for greasing the dish
  • Cheddar Cheese
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

How to Make Baked Sausage And Eggs

  1. Brown 1 pound of sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off excess grease.
  2. Set the cooked sausage aside.
  3. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter.
  4. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of grated cheddar cheese evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  5. Crack 8 large eggs directly onto the cheese.
  6. Gently break the yolks with a fork.
  7. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
  8. Pour 1/2 cup of heavy cream evenly over the eggs.
  9. Top with the cooked sausage.
  10. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of grated cheddar cheese over the sausage.
  11. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is golden brown. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
  12. Can be prepared ahead of time up to the baking stage. Refrigerate until ready to bake, adding an additional 5-10 minutes to the baking time.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
